Glimpsed at Work: Tonja Palmer

Kenneth K. Lam, Baltimore Sun

Tonja Palmer had no problem approaching us to show off her work attire. "Of course I would like to have my picture taken," the T. Rowe Price administrative assistant said during her lunch break at the Inner Harbor. Palmer, 45, was proud of her office look of the day, which borrowed from the season's popular menswear-inspired look. Her Filene's Basement dress flats, with a chunky heel, played on that theme -- as did her slacks from Macy's. But her soft, feminine blouse, which she layered over a simple black knit, balanced out the look. She wore a cashmere coat from Macy's with a patterned scarf from her closet. She accented the look with a necklace and earrings from Lela Rose. "The key to great style is being true to who you are," the Baltimore resident said.
